New Year, New You: The Science of Setting and Attaining Goals
As we stand on the cusp of a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our New Year’s resolutions and aspirations. Perhaps there were goals left unmet last year, dreams that lingered in the distance. In 2024, we invite you on a journey with us at Longevity Exercise Physiology, where we guide you through the process of setting and reaching these goals.
Ever wondered why setting goals is crucial? It’s not just about checking off tasks; it’s about creating an emotional link to your aspirations. Picture this: a dream holiday with your family. The laughter, the joy, the shared moments. Now, break it down into a SMART goal – specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Suddenly, that dream becomes a tangible reality, a journey with defined steps.
Specific – Ensure your goal is specific in nature, the more precise you can describe the goal, the clearer the outlook. Consider who is involved, where and when it will happen and why you are setting the goal.
Measurable – Include a way to track and monitor your progress. This allows you to follow your progress and stay motivated and on track.
Achievable – Assess whether your goal is achievable and of interest to ensure you are realistic in your goal setting.
Relevant – Ensure your goals are relevant, that they are meaningful and align with your personal needs. The more personal your goal, the higher the chance of staying motivated and being successful in goal achievement.
Time–Bound – Your goals should be grounded to a timeframe. Goals are easier to achieve when they within a time-limited period, otherwise there is no urgency or motivation to achieve them.
What goals remain untouched in the past year that you aspire to conquer now? It’s not about dwelling on what was left undone, but understanding that with the right support, 2024 can be the year to make these dreams reality. Our role is to make these big dreams a set of achievable goals. With these defined steps, we can map out the journey towards your long term goals and provide the tools, motivation, and expertise needed to make your aspirations a reality. Nothing drives our team more than seeing our clients work hard to achieve these personal goals that leave a lasting impact on their life.
Our Longevity Exercise Physiologists will help you to not only smash your 2024 goals but ensure that you continue to hit major milestones for the years to come. By setting treatment, prevention and performance goals with our clients, we want to make sure you can do the things you love now and in the future.
